THE LATEST NEWS & UPDATES
The south parking lot at Delia Park (adjacent to baseball fields) and the entrance drive is currently under construction that is expected to last until Labor Day, weather depending.

Delia Park will remain open for scheduled athletic activities as well as use of the Nature Trail. The amenities off Ryan Road (Dog Park and Tennis Courts) will not be impacted by this construction work.

We encourage general park users to enjoy another park during this time. Hampton and Franklin Parks are the closest parks to Delia, but a full list of City parks can be found on our website!
